Table 4.

Observed hierarchy of stress cues in English, Mandarin, and Russian (1 = most important, 4 = least important).

Language
Stress Cue English Mandarin Russian
Vowel quality 1 1 1
Pitch 2 2 4
Intensity 3 3 2
Duration 4 4 3

Note. Despite similar weighting patterns, the results of the GLMM analysis revealed that each language group was statistically different from the others for the use of each of the four cues (p < .01 for each comparison).
